Looks like Bunnings have discontined selling this model, the link is to the AEG website for information purposes, there is no link available to the Bunnings website.
Googling has shown that 6000W is enough to run a fridge, TV and lights. Bit more capable then your little cheapies.
Might be handy these days with the current state of affairs with floods, bushfires, and cyclones the norm it seems
Do you have a better quality scan?
This is unreadable.
EDIT: Whoops, I see you have already addressed the issue below. Thanks.
lol, awesome
prob upload to a site like imgur/photobucket and post the link
thanks
quality is pretty poor, any ideas why? my pdf looks good. anyone needs it i will just email it to them
You're not receiving private messages… please msg me a copy of the receipt.
What is the db noise rating on this unit?.
It's in the link "7m Noise Level LwA (A): 91 dB"
Between 76dBA and 96dBA depending on distance.
Specs here: http://www.aegpowertools.com.au/manuals/AEG-AGN6000DB.pdf
probably too loud to use in a zombie apocalypse.
will let you know how it goes.
Sound POWER Level of this unit is claimed by the manufacturer as 96dBA. So at any distance, Sound Pressure Level will be approximately SPL=SWL-20*log(distance)-8 where log is base-10. So at 4m, this is 76dBA and at 7m this is 71dBA. For comparison, Honda's Super-Quiet model at the same power rating EU65is is 60dBA at 7m, which is half as loud, but 10x the price. The Honda EM65is is 69dBA at 7m but only 6x the price. The Honda's though have much better sine wave power.
Great price for such a decent output Generator BUT keep in mind that these only output a modified square wave, not a pure sine wave so sensitive electronics may struggle or potentially be destroyed if connected to a standard Gennie like this. I'm very tempted tho nevertheless! Thanks OP!!
hmm what about a projector?
You're going to watch movies off this? Won't the sound of the generator be louder than the movie you're watching?
No issue if he is a Charlie Chaplin buff.
Ha yeah… but believe it or not the manual states that you can have 100m of lead connected if it's 2.5mm2 cable! Prolly still too noisy even 100m away :)
I personally wouldn't want to wreck my expensive projector however it seems that there shouldn't be any problems when doing a simple Google search on the topic. Here's a nice little forum I just found discussing this exact issue: http://www.electronicspoint.com/video-projector-power-invert… They're discussing inverters not generators but as a generator includes an inverter then this should still apply (although you may get even more 'noise' in your power feed from the ignition system of the generator).
I suppose we can only get to the bottom of this from trusting people who have done it themselves. Maybe try it with a cheapie first?
Use the generator to power a UPS. Then plug the projector into the UPS.
Most cheap UPSes are standby UPSes, which only kick in when the AC input is cut off. You'll need an expensive online UPS if you're relying on the UPS to give a clean output.
How did you get that? It's a rotating generator, not electronic or an inverter.
Hmmm, very good point but I'm speaking from experience from a small gennie I've used in the past. It was basically a 12V generator disguised as a 240V by just having an inverter bolted on the side so maybe this AEG one is different?
EDIT: You might be right Leonard… this AEG may just be a simple Generator that feeds 240V AC direct out from the generators windings through a coarse filter in which case I wouldn't want to run any electronic equipment off it at all. Can anyone confirm what a Gennie such as this includes on the power output side? Inverters, Filters, Frequency correction etc.?
2nd EDIT: Looking at the circuit diagram in the manual it seems that this is just a basic engine turning an alternator with windings of 12V and 230V. I can't see any evidence of any filters or inverters or regulators or anything! Good for Tradies but probably not so much for running the basics in a house or sensitive electronics. Bugger, no good for me then :(
You learn something new everyday! Here's a nice little thread about Inverter & Non-Inverter Generators: http://www.eham.net/ehamforum/smf/index.php?topic=66337.0;wa… explaining that from their experience a non-Inverter Generator such as this AEG will be fine for electronic equipment. Here's another link explaining the benefits of an Inverter Generator: http://www.generatorcentre.com.au/inverter-generators.html which kinda says the opposite.
Sounds like Inverter Generators are 'smarter' in that they can vary their revs depending on the connected load therefore saving fuel and keeping the noise down plus they provide squeaky-clean power but my original assumption about dirty power seems to be busted so electronic equipment CAN run OK off a standard Generator anyway.
Consumers choice in the end and probably worth the risk but I think I'll stick to the marketing hype by spending the extra cash and putting my faith in an Inverter Generator with pure sinewave output.
All the AEG gear is being cleared from my local Bunnings. The various AEG air-powered nail guns are exceptionally well priced.
yeah, they had a couple of compressors by AEG for half price as well. all the other genertors by AEG were still full price so maybe they are just reducing the AEG products they sell
Probably to make way for the next generation of hopefully quieter models!
I wonder why the word petrol is in quotes on their web page.
Does it imply that it doesn't run off real petrol, and something they just call 'petrol' ?
http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com/
No, it implies that it runs on petrol, rather than being a generator OF petrol.
The manual said -Unleaded- (ULP), but
-don't- use Ethanol-enriched petrol.
I have scanned my receipt as a pdf, not sure how to add it though
